how to copy custom Rom through recovery? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I installed philz touch 6.27.2 recovery on my Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900H). Then, I wiped all data/factory reset. I lost my stock ROM. The bad news is that I forget to copy my the custom ROM files into the internal memory before wiping all the data.
I have no idea what to do now. Can anyone help me step by step what to do?
thank you in advance,

Luckily, you still have custom recovery, which means you can load a stock rom zip through recovery, saving it to your external card, and flashing it. Much easier solution, flash the stock tar through Odin in Download mode. Start from scratch. You erased all data anyway, so it's not like you'd be losing anything
Edit: I do NOT have this build, but I found this article which may be very helpful to you. Good luck.

I did try a clean flash of my rom... Same thing it goes well until i reboot. Stalls on Samsug Galaxy S4 screen.
It feels like TWRP Format Data screwed up something... V 2.5.0.2

hmm i would probably try restoring sans odin...should fix whatever partition issues your having
I had to restore from KIES...
Wouldnt boot again.
Go in stock recovery and
Format data / factory RESET the thing...
WTH I almost tought i lost it for a sec !!
Never format data. What you should have done is odin back to stock, then factory reset through stock recovery. Kies is hit or miss when it comes to recognizing the phone in that state. You got lucky. There are a few topics on how to fix the problem you had.

I format /data every time I flash a new ROM and I experience fewer bugs because of it.
I just back up all my important files (data folder) to external SD and then restore after I install the new ROM. Works great for me. :good:

What do you use to format data ?
Stock ?
CMW ?
TWRP ?
Thanks
I prefer to format as well . But chances are that with the issues i got i wont do it again...

I'm mostly on TWRP but I do it in CWM also.
At most, your issue (whatever it was) was due to user-error or a random system glitch.
At worst, you have to ODIN back to stock which only takes about ten minutes to do, five minutes to re-root and install TWRP and then you're good to go again.
Don't know if any further research has been done on this subject, but it's the only thread that came back with TWRP+format.
This same thing happened to me last week, I *think* it was my first internal format on my i337, was able to boot then fail.
Odin back to stock fixed issues.
Any thought why this happens? Any suggestions for best clean format approach besides an Odin? Flash CWM/Philz for the format then back to TWRP if desired?
I'm currently stuck in the same situation. Used TWRP to format /data to try and clean up the internal sdcard and now I'm bricked. Flashed 3 diff recoveries and about a billion roms, nothing works. Downloading a fresh odin flashable stock rom as we speak.
edit: so flashing stock rom via ODIN wasnt quite enough. I then had to enter stock recovery and do a factory reset. I noticed any time I tried to format /data the system would crash and reboot. The stock recovery was able to properly format data and now I'm back on a custom recovery/rom again.

[Q] Help With Bricked Phone

Ok I looking for some guidance on how to fix my phone. I rooted via CF-Auto root, Installed TWRP, Took a backup. Then I decided I wanted to flash CM10.1.3 I wipe the cache and Internal storage via TWRP. Now that's where I think I went wrong, I've read formatting /data in TWRP can cause problems. I tried to install my backup and that fail gave me some kind of partition or format error. What are my next steps? I pulled down the stock MF9 ROM and plan to re-flash it via ODIN. Is there anything else I need to do? I want to make sure I have all the steps I need to fix it.

Please disregard. For those that made the same mistake a simple flash of the Stock ROM via Odin fixed it.
Yeah and you were not bricked.

[I9505] Recover files

Hello Guys. I'm desperate as yesterday i did try full wipe on my brother galaxy s4 via stock recovery and I did wipe whole phone including photos and videos. I'm so surprise as this never happened on my old s2. Now I'm trying to recover some files but s4 blocking access to those files. Phone is rooted running 4.3 Any advice please? How to remove those blocking system ? Please Please
how you want to access files that you have deleted

I believe there is option via for ex dr.fone software but unfortunatelly s4 blocking access. Wondering if I flash any non stock rom it will help
if they were stored on the internal and you formatted it, they are basically gone, as i don't think you can mount this in windows, you will only have limited access to certain files via the mtp interface.
if they were on your ext sd card, remove it and use a card reader to connect to your pc and try recovery software?
as have been deleted in stock Recovery I do not believe to be restored
Guys you both right. Still no luck on stock rom. Just wondering if I flash for ex SlimKat will I be able to mount internal storage? Thanks

This is part of how to install SlimKat
Reboot to recovery.
In recovery make a full wipe as per these instructions:
In CWM perform wipe data / factory reset and in mounts and storage section format system.
In TWRP choose advanced in wipe section and wipe dalvik cache, cache, system and data.
Flash SlimKat rom zip.
Flash SlimKat gapps zip.
Reboot, setup and enjoy.
What's up
You will delete,format again,wipe again
before install

[Q] Galaxy S4 (....process.media-phone has stopped) Unroot failure! Please Help Devs!

Greetings all,
I have the i9500 S4,
I was running Hassan Rom and everything was fine, yesterday i've tried to boot the OzcanRom, and kept getting the (process.media. and process.phone not working)
The phone was not working, and after multiple tries of rebooting the said rom, i decided ill go unroot it and install the stock official rom (as i need my mobile for work etc...)
What i did is wipe the dalvikcashe and the system files (which i think was wrong) and tried to flash the stock rom via Odin the old simple way.
Everything went fine, when my mobile turned on again, i kept getting the same messages:
(the proccess android.process.media... & the proccess android.process.acore... & the proccess android.process.phone... Unfortunately email has stopped...& the new message Unified Deamon (EUR) has stopped.
The mobile is useless, can't access anything, can't connect to USB media so i can backup the files, can't connect to WIFI as it restarts...
Please help me guys as soon as possible i really need my mobile for my work...
(Preferably without a full wipe, or if necessary offer a backup way for my gallery)
Should i try installing a different stock rom? as i chose one from SamMobile that was the closest to my region...
Perform a factory reset. You can do that from the recovery or from within android. Make sure to backup the files on your internal storage.

Thank you for the reply.
I can do that, but i can't backup the files as nothing on the phone is working, pressing the gallery button for example, leads to the (process.media not working) message.
Any other solutions? i don't understand, isn't flashing a stock rom supposed to solve all these issues? should i try flashing another version of the Roms (different region perhaps)?
It does solve it, but you need to factory reset.
What I would do:
- Flash a custom recovery.
- Do the wipe option prepare for new rom.
- Flash stock/custom rom.
That way your internal storage won't be wiped.

Great, Got me relieved when you said internal storage won't be wiped.
Thank you for the reply, i don't want to be a pain in the ***, but could you please explain a few things,
What i'm gonna do is, flash a custom recovery (please recommend one that has the wipe for new rom)
Then, Do the wipe option, which wipe option, the recovery i had had only 1 wipe option, how do i know its not the one that's gonna wipe my data)
Finally, ill flash the rom. (Do i need to root my device again then? to flash a custom rom, if yes, im just gonna go with stock rom and let my mobile work for a few days where i need it then root and install a custom rom again)
I really appreciate your help, and your prompt answers.

- You can use Philz recovery
- You know the wipe option when you see it. The one that say prepare for new rom. No custom rom will wipe your internal storage. That option is somewhere hidden.
- You don't need to root, just flash.
ps you will lose all your apps. It will not wipe your internal storage.
